r/AustinBeer

Always sad when a brewery closes, but especially so one that’s been around 150+ years. Gonna miss not being able to call out “Schlitz and a shot” to that burly biker bar bartender.

Hey all! I’m in long term recovery from alcoholism and have NO idea what makes a good beer. However, my brother is closing on a house tomorrow and is expecting his first child. I’ll be flying to NY to see him in the next couple of weeks. He’s a massive beer fan (luckily not an alcoholic like me lmao).

I’m looking to bring him some beer that is unique to Austin. I’m thinking I can fit maybe 24-30 cans of beer in my suitcase.

What are the Austin must drink beers that I could bring up? I assume most places that brew their own beer sell 6 packs of cans? lol idk man

Nice.

In town for work and looking for some bar trivia near downtown. It looks like “Geeks Who Drink pub trivia” runs trivia at a bunch of places.

Is it any good? If so, which bars are decent? I found these that have it tonight.

We're doubling down this year, y'all!!

Last year, we brewed an East Coast and a West Cost IPA for the annual St Elmo x Vacancy Collab. When we asked the brewers what they wanted to make this year, they wanted to up the ante. So here we are, releasing a Double Hazy and a Double West Coast IPA this Saturday at the Block Party.

Come try the new beers, hear some live music & join the 4th Annual Block Party.

Are there any breweries in town that do a Mug Club? I know Lazarus has there club that I cant afford to be a part of and only open a few spots every once in a while. But I miss what the breweries back home had, a yearly membership to the Mug Club, you get your own personal glass, larger pours and some free ones here and there, getting to try new beers forst as a member, and that stuff is fun and you can chop it up with the other regulars.

It was a nice little thing and in 8 years of living here, I havent found one that does it was curious if anyone knew of one ive missed.

Just a community update because I ain’t no gate keeper. Celis Brewing has cases of their Late Brunch (Belgian waffle stout) and their Beer Hall (Vienna lager) for $10 and $15, respectively. We’re talking 24 beers for this price. I thought it was a mistake at first and secured a few. Just updating the community!

I am going to a crawfish boil and trying to find the best beer to pair. I used to love Dixie beer out of New Orleans before it sold and got changed. I haven’t found a great replacement yet. All suggestions welcomed.

Open Friday from 4-10PM and Saturday and Sunday 1-10PM
305 Whizzerville Rd, Dale, TX 78616

7 minutes from Wild Bunch Brewing, go visit both!
